Thank you Jure, Sorry it took so long to get back to you...the holidays have me running around in circles! I appreciate the time you spent looking over my work. The reason I asked about the comment in the code about HTML emails is because this is a previous template that I just recoded. The owner will NOT send text and he thinks that this notice is showing up as text for those who can't accept HTML. I have tested it myself but do not notice that this is the case and was wondering if anyone else had any comments on that "technique" and if it is missing a crutial bit of code, (or even if it existis at all). I always thought table properties went within the table tags, but then I am just learning CSS so I will have to experiment with putting them in td's and see how that works. Thanks again for your time and I hope you and yours all have a safe and happy holiday! Jenni
